 It's great to be back in Saskatchewan, and I'm especially happy to be back at depot division this morning. The last time I was here was January of last year, when I had a chance to meet with some of the cadets over breakfast. Spending time with these young women and men, seeing how focused and committed they are was a great experience. What they told me reminded me how hard they worked and the sacrifices they made during their training. All the cadets who are here, except those who are originally from Regina, had to leave their communities in order to be able to come and follow their training here, leaving sometimes their parents, their partners, or their children at home. They left their communities in order to follow a particularly difficult training for 26 weeks, hoping to succeed in becoming the new members of the Royal Royal Armoury of Canada. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the future of GRC, and by extension the security and security of all Canadians, relies on the quality of the training that the cadets receive here. For the past year and a half, the exceptional person in charge of DEPO has been Assistant Commissioner Brenda Lucky. As commanding officer of DEPO, Assistant Commissioner Lucky has been focused on ensuring that cadets receive the best possible training, including diversity training, so that when they receive their field placements, they are ready to investigate crimes, enforce the law, and keep our communities safe and secure. From the day that she chose the RCMP, Assistant Commissioner Lucky has made it her mission to serve the public. She is known for being a hard worker, a dedicated officer, and someone who is constantly looking for ways to improve the status quo. For almost 32 years with GRC, she served in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. She worked with the United Nations in former Yugoslavia. She contributed to the training and selection of police units affected by the UN's civil police in Haiti, and she taught in the program of applied political science here at the School of GRC. Assistant Commissioner Lucky received numerous decorations for the excellence of her work. More particularly, she was a member of the Order of Merit, a police unit, in recognition of her work to improve relations between the Octokton communities and the GRC in the north of Manitoba. For the sake of her accomplishments, I have the great pleasure of presenting to you Assistant Commissioner Lucky, the Royal Royal Army of Canada. When she takes her new post this April, she will be the 24th Commissioner in the RCMP's history and the first woman to serve as Commissioner in a permanent role. As head of the RCMP, Commissioner Lucky will be responsible for overseeing all RCMP activities, including preventing and investigating crime, maintaining peace and order, enforcing laws, contributing to national security, ensuring the safety of state officials, visiting dignitaries and foreign missions, and providing vital operational support services to other police and law enforcement agencies within Canada and abroad. She will also play a vital role in advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, promoting gender equality and equity, supporting mental wellness across the RCMP, addressing workplace harassment and protecting the civil liberties of all Canadians. In the name of our government, I also want to thank Commissioner Daniel Dubault for his work and for wishing her welcome to Commissioner Lucky's designations in these new functions. We are pleased to work with her to protect all Canadians, as the motto says, to maintain the right.
